Menopause took her off of television<\/a> and now it may be bringing her back!<\/p>\n

Former PIX 11 News anchor-turned-menopause warrior<\/a>, Tamsen Fadal, has been taking preliminary meetings to become the new face of daytime, Page Six has learned. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s repped by UTA, so there\u2019s been some exploratory meetings, and people have called, but she\u2019s not actively pitching a show,\u201d an insider told Page Six. \u201cShe takes meetings when people come to her,\u201d they added. <\/p>\n

With Kelly Clarkson<\/a> and Sherri Shepherd\u2019s eponymous talk shows not returning for a new season, there seems to be no shortage of time slots for Fadal, should she jump back onto the small screen. <\/p>\n

Fadal walked away from local news and her 15-year TV gig at PIX 11 in 2023<\/a> after she started experiencing menopausal symptoms that affected her teleprompter skills. She then rebranded herself as an author, podcast host, documentarian, and speaker, spreading the word about menopause.<\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson announced that her show will be ending after this season. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re told Fadal is focused on her podcast, \u201cThe Tamsen Show,\u201d where she gets to gab with famous pals like Halle Berry and Naomi Watts over her favorite topic: womens\u2019 health. \u201cThe podcast is the new talk show. It\u2019s almost like a television show and people want her on theirs,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Fadal has indeed appeared on numerous talks shows including \u201c\u2018The Drew Barrymore Show\u201d and \u201cSherri\u201d since she walked away from PIX 11.<\/p>\n

Finding her way back permanently shouldn\u2019t prove difficult given she\u2019s married to one of the biggest gate keepers of syndicated daytime talk. Her husband Ira Bernstein is the co-founder of Debmar, the company behind Wendy Williams and Sherri Shepherd\u2019s eponymous shows. <\/p>\n

It would seem taking over for Shepherd would be an obvious choice, but \u201cshe is definitely not replacing Sherri,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Another insider explained, \u201cDebmar-Mercury is always in discussions and development for a variety of platforms, but nothing they are developing is replacing \u2018Sherri\u2019 on the Fox TV stations.\u201d<\/p>\n

One insider said several studios \u2013 not Debmar-Mercury \u2013 have expressed interest in Fadal. Tamsen Fadal<\/p>\n

They added, \u201cseveral other studios \u2013 not Debmar-Mercury have reached out to Fadal for all forms of TV opportunities, including her successful video podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insider speculated that the Fox stations will likely default to more local news in Shepherd\u2019s slots. <\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Debmar did not comment on the possibility of Fadal swooping into Shepherd\u2019s slot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shepherd, on the other hand, has vowed to \u201ccontinue to fight to keep the show alive in some way, shape, or form,\u201d she told her viewers while addressing the show\u2019s cancellation during Monday\u2019s broadcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what it\u2019s going to look like, but I promise I will continue to spread joy\u2026 like your favorite auntie, I\u2019m here to make you laugh, get in your business and stay longer than you planned,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, episodes from the fourth and final season of \u201cSherri\u201d will continue to air through the fall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Menopause took her off of television and now it may be bringing her back!
